Q four(4)hours of pay at 1.5 times the EMPLOYEE'S base hourly pay on approved holidays Pay when responding: The EMPLOYER agrees that EMPLOYEE'S will not forfeit on call pay and will be compensated as per section 8.10 (Call back Policy). On-call EMPLOYEES that respond to a call may require assistance in order to safely and effectively complete the necessary work. If so,the on-call EMPLOYEE may call another regular Public Works EMPLOYEE to provide assistance, without receiving immediate authorization from a supervisor. Said employee will be compensated as per section 8.10. In the event that an on-call EMPLOYEE receives an additional alert, page, alarm or work direction from the Public Works Director or designee, to respond to a call within the previous minimum call back period (two hours on non-holidays and four hours on approved holidays) this is merely an extension of the original call and does not start an additional minimum call back period of time. * All Public Works Maintenance employees hired after January 1, 2014, are required to participate in the on-call policy.
